Hymnal: Our Great Redeemer's Praise #188 (2022) Meter: Irregular with refrain First Line: The first Noel, the angel did say Refrain First Line: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Lyrics: 1 The first Noel, the angel did say,
was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
in fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
on a cold winter’s night that was so deep.
Refrain:
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel;
Born is the King of Israel.
2 They looked up and saw a star
shining in the east beyond them far,
and to the earth it gave great light,
and so it continued both day and night. [Refrain]
3 And by the light of that same star,
three wise men came from country far;
to seek for a king was their intent,
and to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]
4 This star drew nigh to the northwest,
o’er Bethlehem it took its rest,
and there it did both stop and stay,
right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain]
5 Then entered in those wise men three,
full rev'rently upon their knee,
and offered there in His presence
their gold, and myrrh, and frankincense. [Refrain]
6 Then let us all, with one accord,
sing praises to our heav'nly Lord,
that hath made heav'n and earth of naught,
and with His blood our life hath bought. [Refrain] Topics: Jesus, Conceived and Born Christmas Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Languages: English Tune Title: THE FIRST NOEL
